which intercooler??

[Fly_With_Sky]

hey fellas. I am interested in any feedback people may have regarding this decision of mine. I am unsure of whether to buy a greedy v-spl intercooler or a hybrid intercooler. Now my car is currently stock except for full exhuast and air filter. Plus i wont really really be pushing the car past the 200rwkw or aroundabouts in the future when i do a couple mods after the i get the cooler. the car will alsoi be boosted and dyno'ed and all... Now my mechanic says there are the japanese coolers, custom made coolers, and stinkers and i guess he referred the hybrid cooler in the stinker category. however, from searches i have found that many people have no problems with the hybrid cooler except for the recent thread saying the chrome piping bubbles. I am really unsure which to buy, and then there are arguments of jap brand coolers are made for jap cars so they know what they are doing, and then there is the hybrids do the job just as well and the money saved can be spent for other purposes whether it be other mods or watever... :confused:

any feedback would be greatly appreciated, cheers.

oh, also, im a student with a part time job so money doesnt grow on trees for me

Ive got the Hybrid cooler, but i think the pipes i got where from a different source, theyre polished aluminium and look very nice and fit perfectly. Power wise, i got 25rwkw from the cooler and cam gears. The car runs much better and has no detenation as previously when the stock cooler gets hot. I give it a hard time and then straight away feel the pipes and cooler and its still nice and cool. I can't comment on the other coolers!!

I've got a Blitz LM i/c and very happy with it. Personally with my car I'd prefer to pay extra for quality parts knowing that they do their job properly. I've never heard of a TRUST, HKS or Blitz cooler bubbling have you?

If you want a cheap cooler go for a stock GT-R cooler. They're amongst the best of stock coolers and are more than good for 200kw at the wheels. If you look around for them you should be able to get them cheaper than the hybrid coolers.

Yeh i got GTR cooler payed $1100 piping and all and this is on a 230rwkw R32.

When i went on the silvia website i heard that hybrid isnt good as they can crack!!!
